Obituary- Cerny, Josef

Josef Cerny
Josef Cerny was born in Moravia, Austria, on March 8, 1882 and died Wednesday, March 11, 1914, at the age of 32 years and 3 days. Mr. Cerny came to this country about twelve years ago and located in the Bohemian settlement north of Rossville. He was a stone mason by trade and like all mechanics who learn their trade in the old country he was an expert in his line. By his industry he soon was able to invest in a farm from his savings and was rapidly prospering at the time of his untimely death from the cave-in at the Swetlick bridge in Jackson county where he had the contract for building the abutments.
Mr. Cerny was of a quit disposition and his strict attention to business kind nature won him the esteem and respect of all his neighbors. He was a member of the Z.C.B.J., a local Bohemian lodge under whose auspices the funeral services were conducted. Rev. P. Parulek preached the sermon. The remains were laid to rest in the Bohemian cemetery.
Josef Cerny is survived by his wife and two sons, Joseph, aged 8 and Frank, aged 4, one brother in Europe and two sisters, one who resides in Texas and Mrs. Vine Pobristo of Omaha Neb.

I desire to thank our many friends, neighbors and members of the Z.C.B.J. for their many acts of kindness and sympathy in the death of my beloved husband. Mrs. Joseph Cerny.
